In a society where women are actively encouraged to stay at home and take care of their house and family, women internalise the belief that they are not capable of standing on equal ground as men.
Women have dreams just like any man. They dream of success and being independent but society prevents them from chasing their dreams. Women are made to believe that their duty is at home from the home itself. Parents and relatives will teach a girl how to be a proper wife and mother, how to cook and clean, and so on.
Women are also told that having a woman at home brings financial prosperity to the family, which is completely absurd. It’s just another way for the patriarchal society to degrade and mistreat women. Married women are not given the option of pursuing their dreams and working. They would be forced to work from home, unpaid, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
For a woman, marriage is nothing short of imprisonment, in most cases. A woman’s dreams are killed the second she is tied down to a man. Many women fear what the public will say if she chooses to work as a married woman, or as a mother.
Women, today, refuse to continue the patriarchal norms that prevent women from following their dreams, dreams their mothers and grandmothers weren’t allowed to chase.
